Four women sit in a row of cushioned wooden armchairs on a terracotta-tiled veranda, eating meals from plates. On the far left an older woman in a red and brown checked sari with gold bangles eats from a plate. Next, a woman in a white kurta and white pants wears a rudraksha mala and a name badge, holding a spoon over a small plate. In the centre a woman with blonde hair in a ponytail, wearing a purple jacket, white pants and a red-bead mala, bends to eat from a bowl with a spoon while barefoot. On the far right a woman in black cardigan and grey top with a red lanyard and name badge eats with a fork from a plate. Grey and green backpacks rest on the floor, and a white-uniformed attendant stands behind.

A buffet serving line at an ashram-style meal. A woman in a white apron-style top, blue hair net and clear plastic gloves serves food from steel pots with a ladle onto terracotta-coloured plates and bowls held by devotees. Several women queue in colourful salwar kameez: one in a yellow kurta, one in a teal printed top with a blue lanyard, one in a pink top holding a small child, and an older woman in pink with glasses. Steel serving vessels, lentil and rice dishes and a green vegetable sit along the table. The scene shows annadan-style communal food service.

Women seated cross-legged on a white tiled floor eat a communal meal from green banana leaves set with vegetables, rice and small portions of food, with white paper cups nearby. Most wear red-orange shawls over white or light kurtas, and some wear red rudraksha-style beaded malas with orange lanyard cards around their necks. One woman in a green-and-white sari eats with her hand, and a blonde woman in white and red-orange shawl sits on the right.
